I installed Docker-Toolbox just now while following their webpage

I started with Docker QuickStart Terminal and see following

Answer 1

In my case, installing docker on Alpine Linux I get the error:

Network timed out while trying to connect to https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/........

Using the script here: https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/contrib/download-frozen-image-v2.sh

Works. It downloads the image using curl and then shows you how to untar and 'docker load' it.

I tried the above methods of static DNS at 8.8.8.8 and disabling ipv6 (I didn't understand the proxy thing) and none of them worked for me.

EDIT 9/8/2016:

I was initially using dropbear instead of openssh. Reinstalled Alpine with openssh fixed the problem.

The next problem was 'ApplyLayer exit status 1 stdout: stderr: chmod /bin/mount: permission denied' error during pull.

From (nixaid.com/grsec-in-docker/):

To build the Docker image, I had to disable the following grsec protections. Modify the /etc/sysctl.d/grsec.conf as follows:

kernel.grsecurity.chroot_deny_chmod = 0 kernel.grsecurity.chroot_deny_mknod = 0 kernel.grsecurity.chroot_caps = 0 # related to a systemd package/CAP_SETFCAP

in alpine's case though it's

/etc/sysctl.d/00-alpine.conf

reboot
